these numbers are unsustainable for romney. he has to turn romney-- anne romney loose. she is his best ambassador and a far better salesman than he is of mitt romney. >> woodruff: is that the way he helps himself, with women voters? >> you know, i'm sure that the romney strategists are very worried about this. i mean i think most republicans understand, you can lose the women's vote and still win an election. george w bus, bush did it in 2004, women went narrowly for john kerry. but the kinds of numbers that we have seen in this week's poll, that can't sustained if you are going to win a national election. >> woodruff: and as mark said, we want to point this out, that governor romney is doing better among men in some polls. >> the women, and obviously the white house by coincidence had a conference today on american-- . >> woodruff: by complete coincidence. >> absolutely. totally divorced from the campaign. >> woodruff: one last thing. and that is what the president had to say in two different speeches or remarks this week about the supreme court. in effect challenging

romney still has an advantage here. he's been amassing these delegates in all of these contests as we've gone along. it's important because the other candidates are going to say he can't win there but it's not necessarily the numbers prize. >> ifill: do you read it the same way? >> yeah, i do. look, the south is important. for the republicans, for the nomination, and in the general election having said that michigan and ohio and new york and california is important. a lot of delegates around the country. basing your strategy as a former speaker did at one point at least and maybe santorum as well on a southern strategy, i think it exaggerates in the republican contest it exaggerates the region where you have to play everywhere. that's the advantage mitt romney has had. he's playing everywhere. >> ifill: stu rothenberg, christina bellantoni, we will be talking about this all night. thanks a lot. >> thank you. >> woodruff: now a quick look >> woodruff: now a quick look at how you can follow our election coverage at any ho
